    Yang Yongtai quickly took out a few pages of paper from his body: "I am about to report to your Excellency! Thanks to your previous favorable policies in Hubei, since the New China Party established the Hubei Provincial Branch in Wuchang at the beginning of the year, the number of branches and the number of party members have both increased.  There has been gratifying development. At present, our party has established branches in every prefecture in Hubei and has groups in every county. The number of party members has exceeded 3,000.

    "Party members are mainly composed of school students, young soldiers, gentry, and officials, and they are concentrated in Wuchang Prefecture, which has dense schools and a large number of troops. The most exciting thing is that Wu Tongjia, Director of Hubei Education, and Li Zhongkui, Director of Industry, have also joined  They joined our New China Party. I believe that with the recovery of Xiangyang, Yunyang, Yichang, Shinan, Jingmen and other state capitals, more officials and gentry will join our party."

    Chen Xun'en said: "According to the newly promulgated "Congress Organization Law" and the "Member Election Law" of the Senate and the House of Representatives, Hubei Province should elect 10 senators and 26 representatives in the congressional election at the end of the year, although the number is not as high as that of Zhili and Zhili provinces.  Provinces with large populations such as Sichuan and Jiangsu should not be underestimated. I wonder if our New China Party can achieve anything in Hubei?"

    Yang Yongtai replied: "Although Hubei is the stronghold of the Republican Party, we have taken the lead in forming the party, and now that Li Huangpi has been transferred away from the mountain, the Tongmenghui is busy reorganizing, and the Beiyang faction will not be able to get in for a while. We are the only one in Hubei  Let's make great progress. If we maintain the current momentum, we will definitely win more than one-third of the seats, and even one-half is not impossible."

    Chen Xun'en said: "Song Dunchu strongly advocated the reorganization of the Tongmenghui this time, and his fundamental purpose was to win a majority of seats in the congressional elections. He had made it clear in private that after the reorganization was successful, he would stop all activities to focus on the election and strive to win the election.  Obtain more than half of the seats in the National Assembly, and then form a pure party cabinet in the government. Our New China Party is exclusive and never allows cross-party people to exist. Once the alliance succeeds, we will definitely lose power in the central government. So we must prepare for a rainy day.  , start preparing as soon as possible!¡±

    Yang Yongtai said: "As early as the beginning of the year, we had listed the congressional election as the most important event in the near future, and actively deployed to try to occupy a dominant position in the Congress. However, we did not expect that the Alliance would actually play the trick of joining forces, and the situation was  It immediately became a big deal. As soon as this matter is over, Yang will go to all parts of the country to lobby and give speeches, and go all out to campaign. No matter what means he uses, he cannot let the Alliance win."

    Sun Yuanqian nodded: "A pure party cabinet is a good form of government. The long-term goal of the New China Party is to form a pure party cabinet. Song Dunchu was promoted by Zhang Taiyan as the prime minister and assistant. He was considered to be intelligent and cautious, and could  Knowing the general political affairs, it is not a bad idea for him to serve as the prime minister of the cabinet. But now it is the wrong time to force the implementation of a pure party system. Because foreign countries implement pure party cabinets, usually when political parties are mature, military personnel are strictly prohibited from intervening in politics, and the president is in a weak position, while in our country  Woolen cloth?

    "Today's political parties are still in their childish stage. The president has the most powerful army in the country, and will use force to intimidate anyone who disobeys the slightest. At present, a mixed party cabinet is implemented. Prime Minister Tang Shaochuan is an old friend of Yuan Xiangcheng and a member of the Tongmenghui.  There is a lot of quarrel between the government and the court. If the young and energetic Song Dunchu implements a cabinet with pure party responsibility, what will be the final result when facing the wily and powerful Yuan Xiangcheng? So we have to make some adjustments.  Depress and dampen the spirit of the Tongmenghui and Song Dunchu."

    Yang Yongtai said: "It is not difficult for you to frustrate the spirit of the Tongmenghui and Song Dunchu. According to China Broadcasting's polls a few days ago, the reorganized Tongmenghui is expected to get 35% of the seats in the Senate and House of Representatives, and the Republican Party is expected to be  26%, and our New China Party¡¯s is 22%. As long as we join forces with the Republican Party, we can completely prevent the Alliance from forming a government."

    Chen Xun'en said: "I'm afraid the situation is not that optimistic! This is the Zhang Zhenwu case. We are at odds with Li Huangpi and some Republicans. How easy is it to join forces? And once Li Huangpi resigns, the Republican Party will soon face the danger of fragmentation and disintegration. The influence of  It will decline rapidly. Under this ebb and flow, even if we join forces with the Republican Party, it will be difficult to control the overall situation.¡±

    Seeing that the two were arguing, Sun Yuanqi waved his hand: "Who can say clearly what will happen in the future? The election will be discussed later. For now, let's continue talking about the situation in Hubei and the capital after Li Huangpi came to Beijing!"

    Yang Jie said: "Generally speaking, because the Lihuang Pi moved north and the Beiyang faction took over, the situation in Hubei will be chaotic for a while. However, we have a good public opinion, military and political party foundation in Hubei Province, so we might as well take the opportunity to gain more practical benefits;  In Beijing, Sun Yat-sen is in the spotlight for a while, and Yuan Xiangcheng is also showing off as a courteous corporal, but it is estimated that it will be difficult to achieve substantive results. You just need to accompany them to sing the show well and not let yourself suffer."

    Sun Yuanqi said: "That's good.We took the offensive in Hubei and the defensive in Beijing. We did not seek merit between offense and defense, but we sought to curb the expansion of the Beiyang Clique and the Alliance and allow them to be stable for a period of time.  "

    As expected, before Li Yuanhong's northbound train arrived at Zhengding Mansion, the Presidential Palace announced that although Li Yuanhong and Duan Qirui had no major faults in the Zhang Zhenwu case, there were inevitably minor flaws in procedures and evidence.  The shortcomings should be punished slightly to set an example for future generations.  In view that Li Yuanhong has previously announced his voluntary resignation from the positions of Vice President, Governor of Hubei, and Chief of Staff, he is now retained as Vice President, and Chief of Staff is temporarily held by Huang Xing; Duan Qirui is removed from the post of Army Chief, and Quan acts as Governor of Hubei and Chief of Army.  Currently represented by Duan Zhigui.

    As soon as the order was announced, it caused shock across the country.

    First of all, I don¡¯t know whether Yuan Shikai was eager for success or intentional. This order did not get the counter-signature of the Senate and the State Council before it was promulgated.  Although the order is appended with the sentence "All appointments will be ratified by the Senate and the State Council," everyone knows that once the order is issued, it is a done deal. There is no way that the Senate and the State Council will slap the president in the face, right?

    Tang Shaoyi was stubborn. After hearing the news, she immediately left a resignation letter and quickly left Beijing for Shanghai.  However, Tang Shaoyi had worked with Yuan Shikai for many years and knew that he was vicious in his actions. Therefore, in his resignation letter, he just politely stated that he was not feeling well and asked for five days of leave to go to Beijing for medical treatment. However, the post of prime minister was of great importance and could not be left alone for a day. He asked the president to take charge of the affairs of state.  One member of the staff is assigned to act as temporary agent.

    But who will act or succeed as prime minister?  It caused everyone to talk about it.  Judging from the current composition of the cabinet, there are four most likely people: Lu Zhengxiang, the foreign minister who represents the detached cabinet, Zhao Bingjun, the interior minister who represents the die-hard Yuan clique, Sun Yuanqi, the education chief who represents the New China Party, and Song Jiao, the agriculture and forestry chief who represents the Tongmenghui.  Benevolence.  ¡ª¡ªIn fact, except for Sun Yuanqi who appeared out of thin air, Lu Zhengxiang and Zhao Bingjun both served as prime ministers in real history. Even Song Jiaoren, who died young, was only one step away from becoming prime minister before he was killed.

    Yuan Shikai naturally hopes that his confidant Zhao Bingjun will serve as Prime Minister of the Cabinet, so that he can truly achieve "unity of government and court", but he is afraid that he will not be able to pass it in the Senate. After all, the Senate has just been established before this.  Therefore, we had no choice but to make a gesture of selecting candidates and reorganizing the cabinet, while claiming that the Prime Minister of the Cabinet, Sun Yat-sen, Li Yuanhong, and Huang Keqiang, etc., would negotiate a settlement after Beijing.

    Secondly, not long after the order was issued, Duan Qirui announced his acceptance of the appointment and dismissal of the Presidential Palace in Xinyang at the junction of Henan and Hubei, and then took a train south to Wuchang. The focus of the Beiyang Army units originally stationed in Henan also moved south, forming a half-way towards Hubei.  The situation of encirclement, together with the strong troops, is ready to enter Hubei to fight at any time.  The situation between Henan and Hubei suddenly became tense, and a war seemed to be about to break out.

    Since both Xiangyang and Yunyang bordered Henan, Fang Wei, Jiang Zuobin and others did not dare to take it lightly, and quickly transferred the Hubei First Mixed Brigade, which had attacked Jingzhou Prefecture, to the Zaoyang and Guanghua areas to monitor and defend the Beiyang Army facing Henan Province.  Not only did the originally opposing Hubei army not take advantage of this opportunity to launch a massive counterattack, but they gradually withdrew to their original garrison, increased their vigilance, and paid close attention to the changes in the political situation after Duan Qirui moved south.

    Li Yuanhong, who was the central figure in the incident, thought about it after hearing the news. He thought that his way back to the south had been blocked, and there was little hope of returning to Hubei. However, he was unwilling to go to Beijing and jumped into the cage on his own initiative, and was manipulated by Yuan Shikai.  He stopped at Zhengding Mansion, then called the whole country, expressing his willingness to accept the punishment of the Presidential Palace and resign as governor of Hubei; but his sins were too serious and could not be resolved by resignation, and he was willing to travel abroad in the name of Vice President.  , to persuade various countries to recognize the newly established Republic of China, in order to atone for their mistakes.

    Yuan Shikai was afraid that after he went overseas, he would collude with Sun Yat-sen, Huang Keqiang and others, or speak nonsense words to slander him in front of the heads of state of the great powers, so how could he agree to allow him to go abroad?  At that time, they frequently sent messages praising him for his heroic achievements and urging him to go north as soon as possible to discuss the country's affairs. At the same time, he ordered the Zhili garrison to guard the area around Zhengding and never let Li Yuanhong escape from his shell. At the right time, he could even force Li Yuanhong onto the train.  Delivered directly to Beijing.

    As for Huang Xing, he had no intention of coming to Beijing to join in the fun. However, Sun Yat-sen was so fascinated by Yuan Shikai that he received a telegram every day urging him to go north.  Huang Xing could not resist Sun Yat-sen's kindness, so he had to leave Shanghai and go north with Li Shucheng, Zhang Xiaozhun and other close associates.  While he was still on the way, he received an order from Yuan Shikai to appoint him as temporary chief of staff.

    In the letter of appointment, Yuan Shikai tried his best to flatter him, praising Huang Xing for "working for the country for 20 years, advocating the republic and reforming the political system. His enthusiasm and perseverance were unyielding. He was born and died in hardships. Everything he experienced was known to both China and foreign countries. He was a famous champion in the world."  "On Xiran" almost lifted Huang Xing to the sky.  However, Huang Xing had long seen through Yuan Shikai's heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys, and was insensitive to the appointment of temporary chief of staff.

    Maybe this is the result Yuan Shikai wants?  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)Visit this website: www.hlnovel.com
